The Almighty Planner

Thu, Sep 20, 2012

Campus Greek life is in full swing—the three national sororities are having formal recruitment this week, and two of the three fraternities are having their rush. For the sororities, formal recruitment spells out evenings spent hosting events to become better acquainted with girls interested in joining, and intended to let those interested girls find their best fit.

It’s an exciting time because you’re meeting lots of new people who could potentially play a large part in an organization that you’ve made a lifelong commitment to. But it also takes a lot of time—and prime study time at that. And believe me, the world does not stop turning for formal recruitment; there are still physics labs to study for, French homework to finish, meetings and classes to attend, reading assignments to get through, blogs to write… It’s times like these that my daily planner, which is broken into 15-minute increments, earns its keep.
